>> mine is the interview with president obama. there are a few topics. i was focused on the president's comment that gun safety advocates should listen more to the concerns of responsible gun owners if they are going to get anything done. it is totally doable. most gun owners support common sense regulations to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them. this would be a smart way to move forward and get something done. >> such a common sense thing that we can take it up on so many topics and we sat down and listened and respected the person on the other side of the argument. president talked a little bit about skeet shooting. interesting read. you tell me. >> back in 2004 president bush won reelection and it was how brilliant the campaign was and how the democrats said never again will we be defeated. we must emulate president bush's campaign. there was a story about how republicans are saying we need to do better. we need to do a better job of being very much involved from the technology standpoint. campaigns have elections, consquence

and i think obama and reagan are that way. who would have thought that joe biden could have marshalled a presidential campaign? he's doing it right as we speak. he looked very good yesterday. he's likable. if ""saturday night live"" doesn't destroy him, which they might because they did it to jerry ford, he could make it. in fact, hillary must be thinking -- secretary clinton must be thinking i got to fight joe. they'll be really hating me because everybody likes him. that fight coming. once you announce you're going to do something you can't bow out. it's pride. what would be his reason for bowing out? she's better than him? you think he's going to admit that? >> no. >> why should he? who says he is? the hillary people will. each one has a president behind them. >> ah. >> bill clinton wants this probably more than anybody on the planet, more than joe biden or anybody else wants it. because it's his resurrection. it says everything that happened to him in 1998 was wrong. he was wronged. and he came back and the public brought

i think president obama's made that pretty clear. doesn't look like we're going to stay there in any great numbers. maybe 5,000 troops. that's not a lot. that's not a lot to really make a difference. and so, what have we built that can stand on its own? we're going to find out. >> not a lot? >> i think it's a pretty rickety thing. you know, maybe we'll all be surprised and it will sort of hold its own. >> you spent four years in baghdad, you have been in afghanistan much longer than that. by the way, congratulations on your assignment, "the new yorker". >> thank you. thank you. >> in new york. but you've been around combat troops over the past decade, as much or more than anybody outside the military. can our men and women sustain another war against iran, which some people are talking about as a possible, a third war in the decade? >> wow. well, i'll put it this way, who knows if we're going to war with iran, but i think if we, if that came, if war comes, i would be amazed if we put troops on the ground there. i mean, i think we --

but obama moved in another direction on monday." jon meacham, is there a chance that we will see a different focus during the state of the union? >> possibly, but there was a chance -- i agree with david -- i think that the most important line -- actually, it's from one of rattner's charts -- is the falling household income over the last 12 years. and there was not a discussion, not a call for the kind of sacrifice that we're going to have to do to make an investment in the future because as we all know, you can cut every bit of discretionary spending, right? and that's 20% besides defense. and if we don't find a way to put our appetites in line with our means, then the american dream of the last 60, 70 years is not going to be there. >> that blends perfectly into the charts that you made for us this morning on the housing scene. >> yeah, actually a little bit of good news on the housing scene. as everybody knows, housing has been a big part of the economic problems we faced, a big part of the downturn. it was the collapse of the ho
